Partnering to improve care

Providence is committed to creating healthier individuals and healthier communities.

In 2012, a group of orthopedic physicians partnered with Providence Orthopedic Institute to develop a care package for total hip and knee replacements. The goals were to improve care, provide a more coordinated experience for patients and reduce the cost of total hip and knee replacements.

The success of this care package – from the initial visit at the surgeon’s office through rehabilitation –has helped to improve care throughout Providence Orthopedic Institute.

Providence Health & Services in Oregon is a not-for-profit Catholic network of hospitals, care centers, health plans, physicians, clinics, home health care and affiliated services guided by a Mission of caring that the Sisters of Providence began in the West nearly 160 years ago.
